Be Green Today-Stop Junk Mail

Face it, everyone including the postman/woman hates junk mail,especially since advertisers are getting sneakier at disquising it as something important that you JUST HAVE TO OPEN. Well, for all the greenies out there in mailland, here is another MAJOR reason to hate that junk mail that clogs up your mailbox most days of the week. Each year over 100 million trees are cut down to create the vast pile of those worthless advertisements...imagine the carbon footprint to produce and mail that much junk mail, and how much space is being used up in landfills because of junk mail? Earthworks Group, environmental consulting firm says cutting out our junk mail is one of the most effective things we can do to reduce pollution.

There is GOOD NEWS!

For a one time fee of just $15 Green Dimes will send you a junk-mail opt-out kit that will remove your name from mailing lists for junk mail and catalogs. They continuously monitor the junk mail lists to make sure your names stay off of them, potentially reducing your junk mail by 90 percent. For a once a year fee of $10 you can refresh your list of junk mail you do not wish to recieve.

Green Dimes also plants 10 trees for each kit sold.

Green Helping Hands Non-Profit Website About to Launch

Green Releaf-Greensburg Video

Yesterday, the first steps were taken to create the non-profit organization, "Green Helping Hands™" with the concept very simple. Creating a Green Cross, a second wave of help for communities after America's First Responders have left out of town, are on their way to another Natural Disaster. Our slogan is simple, "Green Helping Hands reaching across America." Our first responders are the best in the world, but often, communities need help after their initial needs have been met, need help in rebuilding their lost infrastructure...Green Helping Hands™ wants to help meet the need. We are looking for an attorney to help us in getting registered with the state of New York as a non profit, and taking the necessary steps to become a 501 3C.

Green Helping Hands have secured web domains, and hope to launch the site next week. The first project will be helping to raise funds and product for the people of Greensburg, Kansas. For those wishing to contribute to the towns rebuilding efforts, we have posted an address below where you can send donations. Please mention Green Helping Hands in the memo for tracking purposes. If your company is interested in donating building product to the citizens of Greensburg, Kansas, please feel free to contact Green Helping Hands™ at green_helping_hands@yahoo.com .

We will be accepting proposals from 15 corporations who would like to be founding members of this Green Charity as a part of their Corporate Social Committment to America and its citizens.

Cool Green Design-Niche-Give Them a Look

Late at night, or early in the morning I love letting my "Green Fingers do the walking" © as my mouse carries me off to far off green spaces and places on the Internet Highway. Little out of the way cafes, weekend getaways, and sometimes green folk I'd like to do business with when I find myself in need of the services they offer. Tonight I found another one of these treasures, a green design firm that does absolutely stunning work with a lot of thought to creating soothing environmentally friendly places for their clients.

Niche had me at hello when they spelled out their simple approach which states, "NICHE" is a modern design firm focused on creating beautiful contemporary interiors and furniture with an emphasis on sustainability." What a beautifully straightforward approach to design. Their goal is to incorporate into their designs the best sustainable building practices (LEED CERTIFIED) and products available. For the purest in the crowd, Niche is a member of USGBC.

Niche is located in the Metro New York area (Brooklyn) but accepts clients from around the world who are wanting to go green. So, if you are looking for a green designer, the Cosmic Green Rabbit gives these folks two green thumbs up.
